INDY AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

In a couple of weeks the new Indiana Jones will hit the screens. I m really excited to see the movie and I love Harisson Ford, but I would have also loved to see a giant 10 story high Shia LaBeouf ;-) Shia plays motorcycle delinquent Mutt Williams in Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

Preparing for this movie was like going into battle. I'm used to demanding shoots. For Transformers, I was required to hang from the side of a tall building and skid down a street on a Teflon plate. I've still got the scars to show for it. But Crystal Skull was something else. I've never trained so hard in my life – working out for three hours a day, seven days a week. Harrison Ford is a badass when it comes to action scenes and he takes some keeping up with.

I have my vices and that includes women. Not that I have time for relationships as such, but that doesn't mean I have to live like a monk, right? As vices go, women are right up there with my favourites. In fact, women are the best vice in the world. But I try to be respectful. Sometimes women are looking for more commitment than I'm able or willing to give. I can't commit myself to one woman for any length of time.

I got into acting for the money, not the art. It was a purely financial decision. My family were broke and I didn't like the life we had. I didn't believe anything was owed to me and I knew that opportunities weren't going to drop into my lap. If doors were going to open to me, I had to force my way in there.

I had to pay my dad to be a father to me. Before I landed the role in the Disney series Even Stevens, I barely knew my dad, but because I was a minor I needed to have an adult on the set. Dad had just been released from a veterans' hospital, where he'd gone through drug withdrawal. So I paid him $800 a week to be with me. For three years we lived in a motel and that''s when I started to develop a relationship with him. In a very real sense, this business gave me my father back and I'll always be grateful for that.

Harrison ROCKS! But Shia needs to quit his nasty smoking habit! Saw him out in Pasadena (yes, it was him!) sometime back, and he was just smoking like a chimney, and it was, like, 92 degrees out. YUCK!!
